We need more info. What roms/mods are you using? Have you tried transferring the data from the sd card to a pc, reformatting the sd card, then transferring it all back and putting it in the phone?
I haven't but I guess I will

You may need to back up your memory card than reformat it than restore it again from your backup. I found than reformatting will fix most memory card issues.

Unfortunately it takes a little time, this may be the answer to your problem

Be patient. Sometimes it gets stuck for a while, but it eventually goes. I've had situations where I've had to wait 10 minutes. Now, that's only happened like twice but it does happen. Just give it time.
Also, did you just flash a ROM? Like, flash, reboot, and this happens? Because whenever you flash a ROM, the media scan takes forever.
If nothing really works, just try reflashing the ROM.
I formatted my sd and got rid of 5 of my 8 gb ._. Now I'm waiting for everything to get back on.

Trust me this was the issue....just make sure you also only put back on what is needed....these card get corrupted very easily...good idea is to format every so often...i also delete all the bs before a flash....lost dir, android, etc...keeps my **** clean every time...
Nothing's ever happened to my Epic...and I've used up more than 13 GB.

There is a bad read on there somewhere. Why do you only have an 8MB card? It came with a 16MB? You definitely need to back it up on a computer with a card reader, then go into CWM and reformat the card.
Hi everyone
Is there a way to hard brick my S2?
For testing purpose. Would appreciate
Feel free to PM just as well if the topic is not good here
update: forgot to mention, I can't use any USB type of flashing. My USB is not working for some reasons. So anything from recovery or type in shell should do. thanks again
Well, had to do a double take to make sure I was reading this thread correctly :what: Easiest way is to flash a ROM not intended for our phone. If you read all the "Help, I bricked my phone " threads, they usually flashed one for the I9100 or SG3. Now, you don't plan to use this info for malicious reasons, right? :sly:

Flash an .pit file, that will brick it for sure, you can also flash a recovery not intended for the T989, that will not boot up for sure.

Basically was doing a restore after a full wipe. I noticed the restore went allot faster then normal. I figured it was because the new twrp update speeded it up some how. I didn't get a failed message. Umm, no. It was a bad backup. I went to hit restore again and instead did a reboot. The phone was stuck on the Samsung white screen. With wish and truth helping, we got the phone into download mode and using Odin flashed the cwm recovery tar file. Then got the the phone into recovery and flashed a ROM I had on my card.
Moral of the story. If it doesn't seem right dont follow through with it and always keep a working ROM zip on your card. It was totally my fault.
Just noticed, that restore was only 506mb. I ran out of space.

Hey guys, while I'm having a great time flashing ROMs and trying to become a fast expert I wanted to ask a question. I want to keep the stock Att ROM on my device just if I need it reasons.

I have a bunch of backups now but when I started I was running out of space so I had to pick and choose what ROMs I backed up. When I discovered twarp it let me backup to my SD card so now I can do what I want. So yes I do back up but no after flashing for a few months I no longer have my stock back up

Yess... you said you wanted AT&T rom... BUt it doesnt take 1 min to reroot....
Hey so tell us what recovery you like and don't like and why?
I was using twrp but stopped because it screwed up my phone and was having problems flashing some Roms. I just don't think it does a clean wipe just works to fast..... So far clockwork cleans ,wipes more securely and have no problems flashing Roms...

I see this thread getting out of hand and going south quickly. I'm gonna request a mod step in and make a bold suggestion to people on how to keep it clean and not go south. Also make a poll for the thread, makes it look better and more official..
I prefer TWRP, I've been on it since I got the S III (May of '12). I test roms for 3 devs on this phone, and never had an issue. I used to use CWM on previous phones and never had issues there either. I just prefer TWRPs UI.

The Rom that gave me problems with twrp was darthstalker but was able to flash with clockwork... Maybe it was something I did wrong.... Don't know.

I've used both and like both, settled on twrp mainly because I find it a little easier to use. CWM looks nicer IMO. I dont' think you can go wrong with either.
I prefer TWRP but with the 4.2+ ROMs I flashed that have the 0 file I have to use CWM.
I'm sure there's something I can do to fix this but I've tried via Google search and have only has luck with CWM. So here I am.

I use twrp because you can name your back up files. That's probably the only reason I use it. It's UI is more friendly because of the buttons and I'm pretty sure you can theme it now, but I haven't tried that feature yet

Yes, that had happened to me multiple times as well, restoring of backups failing. For that reason I stick to CWM for now. Otherwise IMO TWRP is superior.
